02Scheme fit
Ideal system
Leonard would thrive in a quarters or Cover-3 match scheme that prioritizes zone coverage with opportunities to play downhill against the run.
Field safetyNickel/dime packageBox safety
Best role
Year 1 impact player on special teams, with eventual ceiling as a starting strong safety.
Wrong fit
Single-high safety system, where his limited deep range and ball skills would be exposed.
A versatile safety with a good motor, Leonard projects as a core special teamer who can grow into a starting strong safety role in the right system.
